'Something's Wrong There': Nancy Pelosi Sounds Alarm On Trump's 'Mental Incapacity'

Source: Huff Post

Jan 1, 2026, 01:40 AM EST | Updated 2 hours ago


Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she didn’t watch President Donald Trump’s wild prime-time speech last month for one simple reason. “I’ve had enough of him,” she told ABC’s Jonathan Karl in a new interview. “But I did see some of it in the news afterward, and I think it was a demonstration of his mental incapacity.”

She also pointed to another recent example: Trump’s attack on Rob Reiner after the filmmaker and his wife, Michele, were found stabbed to death in their home last month. “Something’s wrong there,” she said. “And something’s wrong with the people around him that they don’t stop him from his ridiculousness.”

Pelosi went toe-to-toe with Trump during his previous term in office, showing him up at the White House with a finger-wagging moment that went viral ― she said she is frequently asked to sign photos of that even today ― and again at the State of the Union, when she tore up his speech behind him.

At the time, an enraged Trump falsely claimed that tearing up his speech was “very illegal.” Pelosi said in the new interview that she tore up the speech because it was a “manifesto of lies.”

Guess it takes a brave soul like Nancy to call him out and tell the truth.

During his first term, she stood face to face with him and asked, "What does Russia have on you?" Trump has obviously been Putin's puppet for years. Trump even humiliated himself in Helsinki when he said that he didn't believe the NSA when they said that Putin interfered in the 2016 election.

From December 2019:

Earlier this month [12/5/2019], at the end of her weekly news conference, Pelosi had begun to walk off the stage when a reporter from the conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group called out to her, “Do you hate the President, Madam Speaker?” Pelosi wheeled around and wagged her index finger at him. “I don’t hate anybody,” she said. “I was raised in a Catholic house. We don’t hate anybody. Not anybody in the world.” She stalked back to the microphone. “This is about the Constitution of the United States and the facts that lead to the President’s violation of his oath of office,” Pelosi said. Then she added, “I still pray for the President. I pray for the President all the time. So, don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.”

10. Pelosi Wags A Finger

There once was a Speaker named Nan,
Who’d grown tired of one particular man.
“I won’t watch him,” she sighed,
“I’ve already tried—
I’ve had more than enough of that plan.”

She skipped his prime-time display,
Caught the clips on the news the next day.
“What I saw,” she opined,
“Didn’t ease my mind—
It raised questions that won’t go away.”

When Trump picked fresh fights online,
Pelosi drew a blunt little line:
“If no one hits brakes
When nonsense he makes,
Then something’s off by design.”

They sparred in the White House one day,
Her finger-wag had stolen the play.
Now photos still fly,
With folks asking “Sign?”
As that moment refuses to gray.

At the Union of State, she sat
As he spoke and she tore—imagine that.
Paper ripped clean,
Right there on the scene,
A silent but thunderous act.

He fumed, called it criminal flair,
Declared it “illegal,” no less, in the air.
She answered quite dry,
“It was lies upon lies—
So I filed it where falsehoods belong: shredder care.”

No point in listening to anything he says. It's all bullshit and lies. I wait until someone dices up the transcript.

Maybe he thinks the walls are closing in politically, mentally and physically. Whether they are or not is irrelevant. He's lashing out more and more and his sycophants will do nothing about it since they're just as sub human vile as he is. To me, this is the dangerous time.

The whole arch bullshit is the ramblings of someone who knows his days are numbered. Build it, shithead, and we'll blow it up not long after you're worm food.

What she has gone through in the past 9 years is enough to curl anyone's toes.
